This disclosure describes a distributed automated mobile vehicle ('automated mobile vehicle') system for autonomously delivering orders of items to various delivery locations and/or autonomously returning items to a return location. In some implementations, each user may own or be assigned their own automated mobile vehicle that is associated with the user and an automated mobile vehicle control system maintained by the user. When the user orders an item, the user owned or controlled automated mobile vehicle navigates to a materials handling facility, retrieves the ordered item and delivers it to the user.

Distributed automated mobile vehicle routing based on characteristic information satisfying a minimum requirement

An authorization device having an activation module and a wireless interface is configured in a non-enabled mode. In the non-enabled mode, the wireless interface is configured to receive data, and the authorization device is configured to block a request received via the wireless interface to interact with the authorization device. The activation module detects an activation operation. In response to detecting the activation operation, the activation module configures the authorization device in an enabled mode. In the enabled mode, the authorization device is configured to process a request to re-configure the authorization device received via the wireless interface, and to transmit authorization information to a reader device via the wireless interface.

Activation for near-field communication device

A mobile device renders a page that receives input points on a signature provided in conjunction with a mobile payment transaction. The page applies a smoothing algorithm to smooth the input points and create a signature file that more truly represents the actual input signature. The signature file and/or the input points are provided to a payment facilitator for use in completing the mobile payment transaction, performing fraud detection, and potentially for other purposes. Mechanisms are also disclosed for authenticating a buyer device in conjunction with a mobile payment transaction.

Mobile payment signature processing

Representations of authentication objects are provided for selection via an interface. An authentication object may be generated to include information obtained from one or more sensors of a device. A selected authentication object may contain information sufficient for authentication with a corresponding system. The interface may provide multiple representations of authentication objects that are usable with different service providers. The interface, executed by a first device, may be configured to authenticate a second device.

Two factor authentication with authentication objects

Methods and systems are provided for restoring access for user accounts when suspicious activity is detected. The methods and systems identify any potential suspicious activity or potential misuse associated with a user account. The user account has account privileges associated with a network service. The methods and systems sends a notification to a network application to indicate that account privileges associated with the user account are limited. In response to the notification, a series of tasks to restore access to the user account may be performed.

Verification of credential reset

Techniques are described for determining a priority order for generating, serving, or rendering components of content such as a web page. Behavioral data may be collected from user devices, the behavioral data describing user interactions with components of the content during previous presentations of the content on the user devices. Based on the behavioral data, a score may be determined for one or more of the components, the score based on component dwell times, component presentation frequency, or other information. A priority order for the components may be based on the determined scores, and the components may be generated, served, or rendered in the priority order.

Behavior based optimization for content presentation

A messaging service receives an electronic message, including an attachment, from a sender client device and addressed to a recipient client device. The messaging service obtains information associated with the recipient client device to determine one or more actions that may be performed with regard to the attachment included within the electronic message. Once the determination as to the one or more actions has been made, the messaging service may perform the one or more actions, which may include transformation of the electronic message. The messaging service may subsequently provide the electronic message to the recipient client device in accordance with the performed one or more actions.

Message attachment provisioning

Disclosed are various embodiments for an authentication manager. In one embodiment, the authentication manager performs an identity verification on a network site. The authentication manager determines that a particular portable data store is present in the client computing device, and then reads a security credential from the particular portable data store. The authentication manager automatically sends data encoding the security credential to the network site.

Authentication manager

A payment object service receives a request from a giver to associate a payment amount to an object. The request includes one or more images of the object and recipient information, which the payment object service uses to determine whether the association between these images and the information is unique. If the association is unique, the payment object service updates a database to associate the payment amount to the object and enable redemption of the payment amount. When the payment object service receives a request to redeem at least a portion of the payment amount, the payment object service may use one or more images and recipient information obtained from the request to verify that the images and information together correspond to the object. Once the redemption is complete, the payment object service may update the database to specify the current remaining payment amount.

Method, medium, and system for associating a payment amount with a physical object

A digital content provider is configured to identify, based at least in part on various customer user profiles, digital content that is to be pre-loaded onto one or more customer computing devices in advance of the digital content being available for at least one mode of consumption by the one or more computing devices. The digital content provider may use these user profiles, as well as other external information, to identify one or more customers that are to receive the digital content. Subsequently, the digital content provider may download the digital content onto each identified customer's one or more computing devices in advance of the at least one mode of consumption becoming available to the customers. Once the mode of consumption is made available, the digital content provider may enable the use of the pre-loaded digital content.

Predictive transmission of digital content

Methods and systems are provided for managing access to a client account related (CAR) resource. When a privilege-constrained (PC) application requests access to an individual client account, a single use authorization (SUA) code is created that is associated with the individual client account. The SUA code is routed to, and returned from, the privilege-constrained (PC) application to authenticate the PC application. The PC application, once authenticated, receives a permitted action token that identifies a limited set of privileges that the PC application is authorized to perform in connection with the CAR resource. The PC application provides the permitted action token to an access service. The access service limits access, by the PC application, to the CAR resource based on the permitted action token.

Authentication and authorization of a privilege-constrained application

Two unmanned vehicles come within communication range of one another. The unmanned vehicles exchange logs of messages each has received. Each of the unmanned vehicles analyzes the messages that it received from the other unmanned vehicle to determine whether any of the received messages warrants changing a set of tasks it was planning to perform. When a message indicates that a task should be changed, the task is updated accordingly.

Unmanned vehicle message exchange

A retail vendor application installed on a user device receives configuration parameters for a user interface button that can be used by a user of the device to purchase an item available for consumption. The application determines, based at least in part on the configuration parameters, an activity trigger that, if detected, causes the application to present the button to the user. The application monitors sensors and applications on the user device to obtain data that can be used to detect the activity trigger. In response to detection of the activity trigger, the application updates an interface of the user device to present the button. If the user selects the button, the application generates a purchase request for the item that is sent to a retail vendor service for processing.

Graphical user interface customization for automating complex operations

Disclosed are various embodiments for replicating authentication data between computing devices. A computing device detects a change to a user account made by a first client device associated with the user account. The computing device then determines that a second client device associated with the user account comprises locally stored authentication data that fails to reflect the change. The computing device then sends an update to the second client device.

Credential synchronization management

Disclosed are various embodiments for providing multi-factor authentication credentials. In one embodiment, in response to a request from an application, a notification is generated in a notification area of a display. Entry of a user approval is facilitated via the notification. The security credential may be shown in the notification area so that a user may enter it in a form field of the application.
